    O Queen of air and darkness,
    I think ‘tis truth you say,
    And I shall die to-morrow;
    But you will die to-day.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    All the facts of nature are nouns of the intellect, and make the grammar of the eternal language. Every word has a double, treble or centuple use and meaning.

    It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates.
    And Mabbie was all of seven.
    And Mabbie was cut from a chocolate bar.
    And Mabbie thought life was heaven.
